The romantic life of a video gamer typically recalls Cheeto crumbs passionately embracing Mom’s couch—the Nintendo Wii, however, has been flirting with a few different alternatives. Since its release in late 2006, the console has been enticing an audience of all demographics.

Studies show that in just one year of Massachusetts' health expansion and reforms, rates of uninsured adults had dropped from 13% to 7.1%. A new Urban Institute conducted this study between fall 2006 and fall 2007 found that low-income households had better access to health care in 2007 than the previous year.

Wouldn’t it be great to know that you could replace any of your body parts? The process of regenerating parts of the human anatomy has been a part of science fiction for a very long time and it wasn’t until recently that people have begun to really get into the idea. There is now a major medical study being pursued by top medical facilities and the Pentagon; it involves the use of ‘pixie dust’ which is a powder created from tissues extracted from pigs.

Pharmacies are increasingly facing stiff competition from the trans-border online prescription trade. Many of the drugs come from Canada, where health care is subsidized and drugs come at a fraction of the cost as their counterparts in the U.S. Now, Wal-Mart is making its foray into this market niche by offering $4 generic drugs.

Seven percent of Americans say that they or someone in their household wed largely because of a spouse's health insurance coverage. The study hints at the pressing need for affordable health coverage in the country -- for many young couples, such desperate times call for desperate measures (i.e. getting hitched).

Research groups are known to fund their studies by accepting grants from various organizations. If it weren’t for the kindness of donations, the research wouldn’t likely be able to be completed. Before medical research reports are published, most publications require knowing who conducted the research and who funded the research. This is standard procedure to ensure that the facts given are not tainted or biased.

Recently (and as far back as the 90s), some of the lung cancer studies have been shown accepting grant money from tobacco companies, leaving us to believe that the research may be a bit tainted. This is especially so with a specific research study from the Lung Cancer Screening Group. In the final report, it is basically saying that lung cancer isn’t as serious as it may seem and that with computed tomographic, or CT, scanning there are better chances of locating lung cancer in very early stages.
